Standard manufacturing 1911’s

[Electricmo]

I was doing some studying on maybe buying a new 1911 that isn’t a Colt, Kimber, S&W or RIA and stumbled upon this company. They have several models including a deep high polish blue. Forged frames and slides. Most customers give them a big thumbs up. Their color case hardened ones almost stopped my heart with their beauty. Does anyone out there own one? If so how do you like it? I think this may be my next purchase down the road.

Made by Tony Galazan. He makes proper shotguns, so no reason these wouldn't be proper 1911s. And hawt.

That sure is a beauty.

I’ve never heard a negative word against them other than price.

It is my understanding that they are higher end production guns similar to a lower end Dan Wesson or Custom Shop Colt. They have some nice finish options. They reports I have seen are positive but they are not the level of say a Les Baer, Wilson, Ed Brown, Guncrafter etc.... They are a bit overpriced IMHO for their level of performance.

I have heard about them but have never seen one in person. Nice high end finishes (that color case hardened model is totally awesome), but as others have pointed out, they are rather pricey!

Does Standard Manufacturing make their own slides and frames or are they made by another company ?

I don't care for color case on a 1911, but I'm a curmudgeon. I've heard good things about Standard single actions. Around $1900.

I heard rumors that Kahr made the slides and frames for Standard's WWII GI model. No idea if that is even true though.

I guess that would make them Auto Ordnance slides and frames
